What other pilots say about LFSA
Landed there on Friday in an Aquila. As usual, no one answered on the radio. Therefore check the windsock and determine the runway direction yourself. LFSA is a grass field. The runway is in good condition. Runway 24 worked for us. The right (northern) runway is for powered aircraft. Caution: the adjacent taxiway is much more clearly marked. Two very friendly people were in the clubhouse and sold us SP98 (€1.92/l) and called a taxi. The two hangars at the field are impressive in size. In total, five clubs are active at the field, but we saw no movements. No landing fees are charged. Overall, a nice field worth coming back to.
LFSA is a grass airfield with a well-maintained runway. The right (northern) runway is designated for powered aircraft, and the adjacent taxiway is more clearly marked than the runway itself. Radio communication is typically unattended, so pilots should check the windsock and self-select runway direction, using blind calls on 123.5. No landing fees are charged.
Fuel (SP98 and Avgas) is available, but payment requires local assistance; there is no automated system. Two large hangars are present, and parking on asphalt is possible for visitors. Five flying clubs are active on site, though overall flight activity may be low. There is no restaurant currently at the field.
Transport to Besançon can be challenging; taxis may require club assistance to arrange and waiting times can be up to 30 minutes. Taxi fares between LFSA and the city range from €24 to €30. The nearest bus stop ("Horizon" on line 72) is about five minutes on foot, but service does not run on Sundays. Bicycles are available for hire in Besançon via a registration system.
Gyrocopter and parachuting activity occur at the field. No explicit restrictions for foreign pilots are mentioned. The airfield offers a friendly atmosphere and is suitable for general aviation visits.
